Lunch away from base

New (Age ?) Daddy James Purnell, the BBC's Director of Strategy and Digital, has been enjoying the rather more analogue pleasures of the Shuffle Festival at Tower Hamlets Cemetery Park.

Perfect day for @ShuffleFestival - off for lunch in a treehouse

The Symbiosis Restaurant offered a three course meal for £15 a head, with some of the ingredients foraged from the park by chef India Hamilton. Here's the blurb that lured Jimmy...

Symbiosis: the relationship between two different organisms living in close physical association, whether mutually beneficial or not. 

Walk deep in the woods of Shuffle Festival and climb the branches to dine at the Symbiosis Treehouse Restaurant.....

In keeping with the theme, we suggest you invite someone who has had some influence on your life, and experience the calming surrounds of treetops, glittering lights, bubbling microalgae and the soft glow of bioluminescence.

So presumably not George Osborne.
